Understanding the Labrador Retriever is vitally linked to a happy coexistence with these active, intelligent dogs. The author presents a concise history of the breed as well as the Lab's characteristics and temperament. Through first-hand advice on care and maintenance, this book is designed to help the new owner enjoy a long, happy life with a new Lab. Over 150 color photos.
This was an interesting little book, if a bit boring. It didn’t really tell me anything I hadn’t heard before, but that’s also coming from someone who worked with dogs for four years.
I wasn’t a fan of the lists of Lab champions in history, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t completely skip over that section because I didn’t want to read five pages of names.
They also advocated for getting physical with your dog if they do something wrong (whacking them or grabbing them by the scruff), which I’m not okay with.
Also it felt like the author was sponsored by Nylabone at times 😂. Granted, Nylabone is a great company and I love their products and they DO have some of the best chew toys on the market, but still 😂😂
